'Daily Show' Host Jon Stewart Fears May Also Face the Axe After Stephen Colbert's Cancel

• The Gateway Pundit

Stephen Colbert's career as a late-night comedian is over and Jon Stewart fears he may be next on the chopping block.

During a recent episode of The Weekly Show podcast with Stewart, he responded to a listener question about whether he believed Skydance Media might "get rid of The Daily Show" following its merger with Paramount.

Stewart responded:

That's a good question. Unfortunately, we haven't heard anything from them. They haven't called me and said, 'Don't get too comfortable in that office, Stewart.' But, let me tell you something, I've been kicked out of shittier establishments than that. We'll land on our feet.

I honestly don't know. I think… I'd like to believe that — without The Daily Show, I don't know. Comedy Central's kind of like muzak at this point. I think we're the only sort of, like, life that exists on a current basis, other than like South Park."
